This race was really special because my buddies Kaz, Jun, Ace, Ghetto, Anchi (TRD) and Drools (who flew in from North Carolina) joined me in this race! I was glad to share this experience with them.

My previous 5K was a 20:09/6:30 during the Mother's Day 5K. Today I was able to shave off only 8 seconds, despite favorable weather conditions. A sub 20 was always in the back of my mind. However, I try not to think about it too much for the fear of a jinx....what do you know, I'm a shit magnet eh?

Although it was a PR, I missed subbing 20 by 2 seconds. I was disappointed at first, but hey, it is only a race and there's plenty of races in the future.

Congrats to my team (mog, semplib, uptown, paul, jgo, erin, seb, bap, andrea, louis-new dog) for pulling great times in the hot and humid weather.

Another big congrats to Anchi who paced at an 8:58 and Drools with a 7:48 pace/61.1 AG!!!!!!!!

Aloha and Cheers,
